Nuclear Dawn is a First-Person Shooter / Real-Time Strategy hybrid. It was developed and self-published by InterWave Studios using the Source Engine. It was originally announced as a free mod in February 2006, but suffered a protracted development schedule. It was reborn as a retail title, finally getting a simultaneous PC/MAC release on Steam on September 26 of 2011. An Xbox 360 version is forthcoming.It is the year 2049. The world has been devastated by the fires of nuclear war, but humanity perseveres- in great enough numbers to form two new nations from the ashes of the old world: The massive, communistic, oppressive Empire, and the individualistic, determined Consortium, who always put The Men First. These two are of course at each others' throats, competing for strategic locations, vital resources and pre-Dawn artifacts.The game itself plays a bit like Battlefield, with large, class-based teams competing for strategic points, as in that game's Conquest mode. But there's a big twist- one player takes the role of a commander and has a Top-Down View of the battlefield from their team's command bunker. From there, the commander can quickly build structures and place them anywhere within the base's power grid.These include Assemblers to build other structures, turrets, Supply posts, spawn points and the power generators to keep it all running. He can also research upgrades for the troops, issue them orders and use Support Powers like artillery and area-of-effect healing. Resources for all this are generated by the points that the FPS players capture. The objective of the core (and so far only) gametype, Warfare, is to destroy the opposing side's command bunker.

 Nuclear Dawn (Video Game) / int_128e4ba8
comment
Gatling Good: The weapon of the Exo's Suppression Kit. Incorrectly labeled a "Chaingun". His Lockdown ability makes the gun much more accurate then other uses of the trope, giving him unparalleled lethality at range. The machine gun turrets also have gatling-style setups.

The Medic: Supports with the Medic Kit, of course. They can drop health kits which heal friendlies near them, and are armed with toxic gas grenades to deny areas to enemy infantry and with a fast-firing SMG for personal defense.

Stuff Blowing Up: Assaults and BBQ Supports are armed with frag grenades, various kits have mines, Saboteur Stealths have remote explosives, and Siege Exos have the M-95 L.A.W.S. rocket launcher and the X-01 Pulse Cannon, respectively. Oh, and there are rocket turrets and artillery cannons. Oh yeah, lots of Stuff Blowing Up.

comment
Class and Level System: You gain experience for actions in game, with additional bonuses given for aiding your squad members or following orders. Leveling overall confers generic perks, called "gizmos", such as larger magazine sizes or more damage, while leveling each class grants class-specific gizmos. One of each can be equipped at any given time. There are four classes, each with two or more available "kits":

Invisibility Cloak
 Nuclear Dawn (Video Game) / int_66f69cd4
comment
Invisibility Cloak: Used by Stealths. It's a fairly efficient one in that the Stealth can even attack while cloaked, though doing so drops it. Unfortunately for the guy he just stabbed, that's a small comfort.

Cosmetically Different Sides
 Nuclear Dawn (Video Game) / int_7706dd0f
comment
Cosmetically Different Sides: There are only slight variations between weapons. The only large differences are flame turrets for the Empire and sonic ones for Consortium, and how each side extends it's power grid: Imperial Relay Towers have unlimited range but must have line-of-sight to other Towers, while Consortium Wireless Repeaters have much shorter range, but can transmit through solid objects.

Sentry Gun: All over the place. These are the commander's offensive and defensive weapons, as he does not have direct control of the troops. They're critical for defending areas and holding the frontlines if troops need to retreat to heal and resupply.
